In an automatic transmission car, the L stands for Low gear. When in L gear, the transmission stays in first gear, adjusting the rotation ratio of power input and output to low speed and high torque, thereby providing strong traction. Introduction to automatic transmission gear positions: 1. P gear is the Parking gear, used for long-term parking of the vehicle; 2. R gear is the Reverse gear, engaged when the vehicle needs to move backward; 3. N gear is the Neutral gear, engaged when the vehicle is parked for a short time without turning off the engine; 4. D gear is the Drive gear, where the vehicle automatically shifts gears based on throttle opening and speed data when the gear lever is in D; 5. S gear is the Sport mode, making the vehicle's driving more sporty; 6. M gear refers to the Manual mode, where gear shifting is done manually by the driver when the gear lever is in M.

Can a Temporary License Plate Be Valid for Up to 3 Months?

Whether a temporary license plate can be valid for up to 3 months depends on the specific situation. The validity period of a temporary license plate within an administrative jurisdiction does not exceed 15 days, while a temporary license plate for cross-administrative jurisdictions does not exceed 30 days. However, for motor vehicles used for scientific research and prototype testing, or those that cannot be registered due to dimensions, weight, or other aspects not meeting national standards, the temporary license plate can be valid for up to 90 days. Below are detailed introductions regarding temporary license plates: 1. Required Materials: To apply for a temporary license plate, you need to prepare relevant documents in advance, including the buyer's ID card, purchase invoice, compulsory traffic insurance policy (copy), and the vehicle's factory certificate. Copies of all four documents must also be provided. 2. Placement: Generally, both temporary license plates must be affixed to the vehicle. One should be placed in the upper right corner of the interior windshield, ensuring it does not obstruct the driver's view or block the insurance label. The other should be placed in the upper left corner of the rear windshield. For vehicles with installation limitations, only one temporary license plate is required, to be placed in the lower left or lower right corner of the interior windshield.

Does the domestic Model Y have automatic parking function?

The domestic Model Y has automatic parking function. Definition of automatic parking: Automatic parking refers to the car parking itself without manual control. When the owner reaches the parking spot, they only need to press the automatic parking button, and the car will automatically drive into the parking space without any human intervention during the process. Operation method of automatic parking: Tesla can automatically detect whether a parking space is suitable for parking. When driving slowly (below 24 km/h) past a parking space, if a "P" icon appears on the dashboard, it means Tesla has detected a valid parking space and automatic parking can be initiated. Shift into reverse gear, and the central control screen will display the rearview image and the automatic parking guide. Click "Start," and you can take your hands off the steering wheel and your foot off the brake pedal. Tesla will automatically complete the parking operation, which is generally smooth.

Are Sinopec 95 and PetroChina 95 the same?

Introduction to the differences between Sinopec 95 and PetroChina 95: 1. Different brands: one is Sinopec, the other is PetroChina. 2. Different additives: Gasoline is a mixture, and each company can add qualified additives according to their business philosophy and consumer demand. For example, Sinopec gas stations often promote fuel additives (fuel enhancers), and customers can choose whether to add them or not. However, PetroChina claims that fuel additives have already been pre-added to their gasoline. 3. Different sources: Both companies have their own refineries, but the refineries and local sales companies are not affiliated. The oil sold by sales companies may come from refineries within their own system or from local refineries. For example, a small portion of the oil purchased by Sinopec Shandong Branch comes from five Sinopec system refineries in Shandong, while the majority comes from local refineries (independent refineries) in Shandong. PetroChina, on the other hand, has no refineries in Shandong, so all the oil purchased by its Shandong sales company comes from independent refineries. 4. Different prices: The price difference is reflected at multiple levels and in various aspects. The purchase prices of Sinopec and PetroChina from independent refineries are different. The retail prices at gas stations of the two companies are generally different, and even within the same system, different gas stations may offer varying discounts, resulting in different final selling prices.

What are the body dimensions of the Toyota Yaris?

Toyota Yaris has a length, width, and height of 4160mm/1720mm/1520mm, which are official data. The length of the Yaris refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. Toyota Yaris's naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 82kw and a maximum torque of 139 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6000 rpm and its maximum torque at 4200 rpm. It is equipped with multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with an 8-speed CVT transmission. The state has relevant regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89', the total width of a vehicle does not include rearview mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, the significance of vehicle width data in national standards lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, the state stipulates that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.
